Good Afternoon all
I have had my XDA Orbit ( not sure about its real name i think its Athena ? ) for a few weeks now and have been trying to download and install some games to play on it while i travel to and from work and also because i am quite avid gamer and wanted to see what games my Orbit could play,
Well so far i have used www.cnet.com to download and tried to install the games only to have various errors when trying this for example 2 games had .prc extensions and i had no idea what do with those files ? and the other game which i really liked the look of ( Viking Saga i am RTS fan ) gave me the following CEappmanager is not found please reinstall active sync , which i have tried
My question is does anyone know of or have a site where games can be downloaded and played on my XDA and if so has anyone also had these types of problems bearing in mind i am a complete newbie when it comes to everything XDA
Thanks in Advance
If I remember well, the prc files are for the Palm OS, not WinCE.
I think there are emulators for the Palm to run inside the WinCE (I read it somewhere, not sure where).

yeah this page is helpfull for knowing what extentions mean
Games
Hey there carlos thanks for the info m8 that helps clear it all up i guess need to try and get games specific for windows ce
File extensions
Thanks very much for the info rudegar
OK I would really appreciate it if somebody would be kind enough to help me out. I am a huge gamer (I already have Pocket Wolf, SOD, DoomGLES, Quake and all its expansions, Quake 3, and Pocket Duke3D) but I still need a little help finding more games I want.
Fist of all i found Pocket Duke3D but I honestly cant figure out the control scheme, I understand how you can change the Duke3D file in the txt editor and I even got it to go to landscape view but I keep hearing conflicting ideas on how to set up the buttons. I did a lot of research but there was no definite answers and most of the post were from like 3 years ago. Almost all the links the I can find that talks anything about it are dead, and I find it hard to believe that the version I have is the final version that anyone has worked on. I would love it if there was an accelerated version that I don't know about.
So then I was reading on a forum where somebody talked about Pocket Hexen and Heretic. These were both close to being my favorite games when I was little, but unfortunately every time I do a search for a download all i get is a dead link. Also the only screens that I have seen of these games has an on board keyboard. I doubt I could play those games with an on board keyboard that small. So I'm thinking there has to be an upgraded version of those games (hopefully accelerated) as well because those versions must of been completely unplayable.
So what I'm doing here people is imploring you to look into the depth of you heart and help out a man in desperate need of pocket entertainment. Please if you have any idea of where i might find any of these games, or others that I might not of heard of PLEASE post them on this thread. If you do i will forever be grateful!
Have you mistakenly bought Dell X51v? PSP should be the best option for you.. Lol..! Your post seems like you just have it for playing

I already have one of those too! LOL everything I own is geared toward gaming. I'm just a little bit obsessed, I bet you can imagine how much my wife loves that.
I also use it for school and work stuff too, but mostly gaming!
Ok so I finally found a pokect hexen I could download and it was an .exe file, which I thought was wierd becaus I figured I would have to add my .wad file to get it to work, but anyways whenever i run it its DOS based and it says
connecting to window CE... Sucess
Creating\Hexen
and then it just freezes. I tried to extract the .cad file from it but i guess this is one of thoes files you cant pick apart! Also I'm not having any luck with Wargus all the links seem to either be in Russian or they are dead. I dont think God wants me having anmyore ppc games!

1, you don't miss much with Pocket Hexen as it doesn't support the 2700G - that is, no hardware 3D acceleration, unlike in Quake Mobile, DoomGLES, Cuve3D etc.
2, do check out my gaming-related articles, I've reviewed ALL the 2700G-enabled games and emulators and most Pocket PC games / emulators. You'll find them VERY useful.

Yup, the PSP is decidedly better for gaming (much better controls, more games, much better screen, particularly in Landscape etc.). However, the PPC platform also has some VERY good games - for example, Orions.

Yeah but I've been gaming since back when all I had was a 286 with no sound card, and I knew I just had to buy a sound card so I could hear the "Awesome" sound in Wolf3D. So Im really loving all of these oldies but goodies because they dont offer anyhting like that on my PSP.
Also I've already looked at the accelerated game list that you have for X51v it was VERY helpful, I have most of them installed, I found them when i was reading up on DoomGLES back like 4 months ago, now im looking for the classics, IE Hexen, Heretic, i even read somwhere they were making a heretic 2 (that project has probably been abandoned too), but my problem is all the links are dead!! ARG!
if it's on the internet i can find it
http://www.mobile2day.de/partner/111/details.php?pid=3,921,966,967,6214
sure it's a german site but the links are not dead
links to hexen in the buttom too
but it does seem to suffer from the onscreen keyboard
ps. my duke3d setup works just fine with buttons and screen on himalaya
never liked Heretic and hexen much though well i loved Heretic mp but only because i could turn
my friend into a chicken and trample him and there would be feathers everywhere!
hexen dident seem to have that option and tried to be more rpg'ish in which it failed

*PULLING OUT HAIR*
Ok thanks to Rudegar I finally found both hexen and heretic and I was super excited but now that I install them neither one of the will work!! I KEEP GETTING THE STUPID ERROR MESSAGE W_InitFiles: no files found. From all the research I've done I think they are saying that there is a problem with the name of the wad files, BUT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE NAME OF MY WAD FILES!! i downloaded the shareware version right form the same website, i even made sure the had the same names that were on the README files! I REALLY THINK GOD HATES ME! Can sombody PLEASE HELP ME!?!?!
Ok i got Pocket Hexen Working....HAHA AND HERETIC NOW TOO!! I had to tool around with it for a little bit but I figured it out! Is there anyways to put these games on landscape mode, and to get rid of the supid keyboard when you dont need it??
ALSO THANKS Rudegar SO MUCH FOR THE HELP!!

The thread you linked had a lot of cracked / regged apps / games.
This is sort of off-topic, but I remember being excited by the vast difference between the PC Speaker and Sound Blaster 16 sound effects in Wolfenstein 3D. Ah, I remember when the question wasn't whether to use onboard audio or a good sound card, but rather whether to have a sound card or just use the PC speaker.
I miss playing Master of Orion.. I wonder if there is a good game like that for the X51v. MoO 3 was not very good, unfortunately, and I'm tired of playing MoO 2.

1. Yeah, Wolf3D, back in 1992, was REALLY cool on a stereo soundcard like the SB Pro because of the stereo digitized voice helping a lot finding out where are you shot at from.
2. Did you check out my MS-DOS Emulation Bible on whether MoO can be emulated under WinMo?

Wow people are still writing on my thread I thought this thing was dead, so what is this MS0-DOS Emulation Bible you speek of? Is there any way of playing the old DOS based Sierra games on my PDA like Kings Quest or Quest for Glory, I think I'd give on of my kindneys if thats what it would take to make that happen!
Also does anyone know any good tutorials on Wargus on you'r PPC, I've got the game to work, I learned how to save, I just can't figure out the stupid sound. and I can't find anything thats either not in Russian or like 3 years old.
This is awesome!
i got both to work, however when i tried to change the controls through the .cfg file the way i would with doom, it just messed up the controls even more, making left and right now strafe left and right. I'm not able to set any values like i was on doom. for example I tried to make Fire the windows key, but that didnt work.
Is there a source code avaible? I know some people who may be able to fix it up!
Hi,
I was wondering if there were any good games for the VOX like there are for Nokia N95 or something like it. If they are free that would be great but i can't find them hope you guys can help me out!
tnx cpt.bert
I use PocketNester and I have about 300 ROM's, I also like Raging Thunder and spvDuke which is a port of Duke Nukem, runs awesome.
tnx for the quick reply! can you post that stuff your talking about for me? so i can download it and dont need to search for it all? i would really appriciate it!
tnx cpt.bert
Hi i have tried to get PocketSNES to work on my Vox.
But after i selected a ROM the screen goes blank and my vox does not response to any input from the keyboard.
Does anyone has experience getting PocketSNES on the Vox.
Thanks.
Chongie
h4waii, pocketnester says it runs on winCE, is there anything special to get it to run on our 7310? Where do I download it to on the vox? thanks for your help.
Chuck
Hi,
i'm quite liking my vox, and im searching for some games.
I'v downloaded a ton of java games but i only found a few games that work like R-Type and some rally games
Can i update the java player?
And is this phone not capable of playing PPC games? Like Doom and Age Of empires?
You can play Doom pretty good. I played it in landscape with the full keyboard.

Do you have links to download games (java or not) compatible with Vox ?
Thanks.
I am sorry I don't remember where I got it from. And I don't know if it would comply with the forum rules if I would post a link to it.
...
Looks like I found it. It's freeware so: http://www.smartphone-freeware.mobi/download/rcx-doom
For more free games go to MoDaCo's download section. spvDuke3D and spvMan are quite good.
Here are 44 free games!
EDIT:
A very good Game Boy emulator (Java) is MeBoy. All you need is ROMs, but I can't post links to that!
You know, Pokemon makes school life so much better! And good memories come back ^^
thanks for the links! Doom works fine!
Duke3D doesnt work.
"Unknown Multivoc error code"
Have you tried pocketGBA? didnt work for me.
And i found worms for landscape mode but java doesnt let me do that
Hm I have a Windows Mobile Worms Edition, but I have never tried it in landscape!
Hey I just found another great free game.
Go to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/totalaccess/default.mspx
you have to register, but then you can get Real Dice Poker for free. It's an online and offline game!
Thanks for your links frauhottelmann
I can login with my Hotmail acc. didnt need to register
If you already have some Microsoft registration, you can use it!
its a 3 day trial until u register
You can register, it's free.
i tried on my fox but coudnt enter my email :s _ doesnt work.
Almost every W810 game I had worked in jBed flawlessly. I had about 200 on my device, I have them backed up to my microSD but not installed. I don't tend to play games myself but most of my friends play the NES emulator when they get their grubby paws on my Vox.
I'll upload the java collection I have.
Sounds good! Thanks
ok signing up worked
and i cant install pocketsnes or gnuBoy becous it doesnt have a digital signature (i think in english)
You have to app-unlock your phone!
sda unlock doesnt help
What do i need to reboot at the end? reboot sda now it says.
i need to reboot the program or my phone? i tried both but nothing worked.
Try this: http://www.mediafire.com/?k1egbyo05gs
Connect to your PC via ActiveSync. Open it after you installed it (on PC) and select "No Security" and click promote. Wait a bit. Restart S710, then it should work!
I saw a few other threads on here regarding issues with fpsece on our phones but I had a more specific problem regarding the app/program, which would be multi-touch. Does anyone here run fpsece on their HD2 and successfully play their roms with multi-touch functioning? I have the latest free version installed with the supporter cab (3/25/10). No matter what skin I use, no matter what editing I do to my ini that the fpsece forum suggests seems to work. I'm posting on here in hope that someone can help me resolve this problem. This site is way more active then the the fpsece forum.
T-mobile HD2
16gb microSD
Latest Energy Rom
Cloud Strife FpseCE skin
Stylus mode is off
Latest free version with supporter version 3/25/10
The game I'm trying to get it to work on currently is Xenogears
multi touch is only present in the "supporter-version" of fpsece. also other features like save n load r available.. donate them to get ur supporter ver copy..
Yes I know, that's what I put in my post. I DO have the supporter version. My question is why my multi-touch still isn't working...

Hi guys
I too have the supporters version and also have multitouch issues, I think that there is a line you need to add into the ini file to activate this... I have actually now given up with this app as it has become a pain in the a%$*. If somebody has a fix for this, I would also be greatful as this is a great app.
thanks
Try to add
HD2=1
in the fpse.ini, [PocketPC] section
